c654 Firmware

[Synaux]

Not the infamous question you might be expecting.
I just want to know what the latest version is. I currently possess:

C754_Series_A2X00Y0-F000-GBN-M0
C654_C754_A2X00Y0-F000-G00-72
C654_C754_A2X0010-B100-G00-02_1st_OCR
A2X00Y0-C000-G00-00_1st_Movie

Is this the latest in the States and if not, is there a newer version that has crucial updates that I need to beg someone to get for me?

(It has been about 5 years since I lost my KM Confidential privileges...I really miss being able to jump to get bulletin supplementary material and FW not to mention the dreaded ioption codes.)

Thanks!

Well, the GBN-M0 is a special firmware, and there has been a number of versions released since that one, but I guess it depends on what you need it to do. Special firmware is only supposed to be used if it corrects a problem you are having, and there are various different versions because of that.

- Special firmware versions newer than what you have, in order of release: GDL-M0, GN1-M0, GBT-M0, GXN-M0, GBU-M0, and GBZ-M0
- Base firmware you have is the newest, G00-72
- OCR firmware is the newest, G00-02_1st_OCR
- Movie firmware is the newest, G00-00_1st_Movie

Here the latest firmware bulletin.

C754 C654 FW Read Me GF7-72.pdf

You also have the 'version up' firmware that gives your non 'e' model the same spec as the 'e' models.

Hey thanks!!

I will make use of this tomorrow, just to be clear this is basically a version up and the latest FW?

I ask because because the file names are different (to be expected) and it appears to be missing the "1st movie data" which I am assuming I would install first?

Thanks again, everyone.

Main firmware, movie animation firmware & the 'version up' are 3 totally different files & you don't necessarily need all 3.

Most of the time you would simply routinely update the main firmware.

If you had to format or replace the HDD you would need to install the movie animation firmware as this resides on the HDD.

Now the version up firmware you would only need should you find you had limitations with your non e model, most customers need this if they want to scan using gmail or O365 etc.

This is all what I suspected, but having someone verify all that is nice.

CAUSE: In most cases, the message is not related to the USB memory device itself. The message
normally indicates that the firmware on the USB memory stick is not applicable to the model to which the firmware update is being performed.
SOLUTION: Check if the firmware on the USB memory is the correct version and type for the model. If
not, download the right firmware onto the USB memory and retry the firmware update. If the same
message is displayed again, try another USB memory device that is known to work.

Re: c654 Firmware

Update: It showed c156 again so was able to boot it up. Now it has p6-9, p-21 tray 4 is missing, copy will not function tried a platten scan produced a clunk and a c6103 (everything seems to be mechanically intact). So it is ded.

Pulled the power cord.

Re: c654 Firmware

That version up thing was a mess. Screwed up more machines than it "fixed"

It was easy to upgrade the machines themselves than make that crap work.
Besides the model is way discontinued and needs an upgrade instead.

I hope you were not randomly just flashing FW because it's the latest, that's special FW and should not be arbitrarily touched.
Even if they use Gmail or O365 there are relay servers to use instead of bricking the copier.

I'm very sorry you are going through this, it's a konica abortion trying to make a Chevy a caddilac.

I've used this version up firmware numerous times without any issue.

I think if you don't follow the procedure correctly you can have problems.

Re: c654 Firmware

Still requesting "VerDown_Tool A2X0DWN-F000-G00-00.exe" I have confirmed that without this software, downgrading is almost certain doom.
I even contributed (long overdo, but that finally happened).

I talked to one of my distributors that has access to KM Confidential. He claimed that the x54 series were not even in the firmware list online! (The x54es were though.) wtf?!
I reiterate:
WTF!?

He actually cut me off mid-sentence when I mentioned the version up firmware and told me not to bother. I was like "about...that...I may have already tried..." and moment of silence ensued.

He said it can be done, then rambled about starting with the initial release base FW then work your way up to the version up. This made no sense to me, but he has far more experience that I probably ever will.

Thanks, that makes me feel a little better and I had a few reasons for doing all this.

This is pretty simple stuff...not really sure what I could have done wrong--any suggestions?

Sometimes if the HDD is on the way out you get weird issues after updating the firmware.

What state in the machine on now?

Try simply putting the latest regular C654 firmware on.
